New Partnership for the Petaluma Fair
This year, the City and the 4th District Agricultural Association (DAA) will partner to present the annual fair, which allows the DAA to focus on the agricultural programming and exhibits, while the City will manage the carnival and other fair offerings. The agreement is a result of conversations between City and the DAA over several months, in which both parties worked to meet each others’ needs to ensure the continuance of Petaluma’s beloved Fair.
“We are grateful to the DAA for the way they have championed our agricultural community for over eight decades. This agreement will allow them to more closely focus on their mission to promote and preserve the agricultural heritage of Sonoma and Marin Counties,” said City Manager Peggy Flynn. “Our City team is already working hard behind the scenes to ready the property for Fair visitors, the carnival, and all of the wonderful programs our community has come to love and expect at the Petaluma Fair.”
